Biostatistics - Demystifying Numbers for Health Science Students

This book would be a good read for health science students who want to understand how statistics can be applied to their field of study. It provides a user-friendly approach to biostatistics, focusing on the interpretation and application of statistical methods rather than complex mathematical derivations. The authors explain the rationale behind the formulas, helping students understand the link between biology and statistics. With new material and chapters on relevant topics such as logistic regression and analysis of survey data, this book offers modern real-life examples and exercises to enhance learning. The companion website also provides additional resources and demonstrations of computer packages for analysis.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Biostatistics, Second Edition, is a user-friendly guide on biostatistics, which focuses on the proper use and interpretation of statistical methods. This textbook does not require extensive background in mathematics, making it user-friendly for all students in the public health sciences field. Instead of highlighting derivations of formulas, the authors provide rationales for the formulas, allowing students to grasp a better understanding of the link between biology and statistics. The material on life tables and survival analysis allows students to better understand the recent literature in the health field, particularly in the study of chronic disease treatment. This updated edition contains over 40% new material with modern real-life examples, exercises, and references, including new chapters on Logistic Regression, Analysis of Survey Data, and Study Designs. The book is recommended for students in the health sciences, public health professionals, and practitioners.
